Examples with solutions for Subtraction: Graphical representation

Exercise #1

If we have 85 blocks in total, how many blocks will remain if we remove 4 tens and 1 one?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we begin by calculating the total number of blocks to remove.

Step 1: Calculate the blocks in 4 tens.

  • A "ten" refers to 10 blocks. Thus, 4 tens equal 4×10=40 4 \times 10 = 40 blocks.

Step 2: Calculate the total blocks to remove by combining tens and ones.

  • We are also removing 1 more block, so the total becomes 40+1=41 40 + 1 = 41 blocks.

Step 3: Subtract the total removed blocks from the initial total to determine how many blocks remain.

  • 8541=44 85 - 41 = 44 .

Therefore, the number of blocks remaining is 44 44 .

Answer

44 44

Exercise #2

What number do you get if you subtract thirty units from the number 85?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll perform basic subtraction.

  • Step 1: Identify the minuend and subtrahend.

  • The minuend (the number from which we are subtracting) is 85.

  • The subtrahend (the number to be subtracted) is 30.

  • Step 2: Apply the subtraction formula 8530 85 - 30 .

  • Step 3: Calculate the difference.

Exercise #4

If we have 46 blocks in total and we remove 2 tens, how many blocks will remain?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll proceed through the following steps:

  • Step 1: Identify how many blocks are represented by "2 tens".
  • Step 2: Subtract the number of removed blocks from the total number of blocks given.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: "2 tens" equates to 2×10=20 2 \times 10 = 20 blocks.
Step 2: We are removing 20 blocks from the total of 46 blocks. Using subtraction, we have:

4620=26 46 - 20 = 26

Therefore, after removing 2 tens (which is 20 blocks), the number of blocks that remain is 26 26 .

Exercise #7

What number will we get if we subtract 2 tens and 5 units from the number 36.

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we begin by determining what needs to be subtracted from the number 36. We have "2 tens" and "5 units" to subtract:

  • 2 tens is equal to 20 because one ten is equal to 10.
  • 5 units are simply the number 5 added directly.

Therefore, the total amount to subtract is 20+5=25 20 + 5 = 25 .

Next, we perform the subtraction operation:

Starting with the number 36, subtract 25:

  • 3625=11 36 - 25 = 11

After performing the subtraction, we conclude that the final result is:

11 11 .

Answer

11 11

Exercise #8

If we have 67 blocks in total, how many blocks will remain if we remove 5 tens and 4 ones?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, let's consider the following steps:

  • Step 1: Understand the removal of blocks. We are removing 5 tens and 4 ones. One "ten" equals 10 units, so 5 tens equal 5×10=50 5 \times 10 = 50 units.
  • Step 2: Calculate the total number of blocks to be removed. We have 50 (from tens) + 4 (ones) = 54 units to be removed.
  • Step 3: Perform the subtraction from the total number of blocks. The total number of blocks is 67. Therefore, we calculate 6754=13 67 - 54 = 13 .

After performing the above calculations, we confirm that the number of blocks remaining is 13 13 .

Answer

13 13

Exercise #9

If we have 79 blocks in total, how many blocks will remain if we remove 2 tens and 3 ones?

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's solve the problem step by step:

We begin with a total of 79 79 blocks.

First, we need to determine how many blocks are removed:

  • Two tens, which equals 2×10=20 2 \times 10 = 20 blocks.
  • Three ones, equaling 3 3 blocks.

Add the blocks removed together: 20+3=23 20 + 3 = 23 blocks removed in total.

Now, subtract the total blocks removed from the starting total:

Total remaining=7923=56\text{Total remaining} = 79 - 23 = 56

Therefore, the number of blocks remaining is 56 56 .

Answer

56 56

Exercise #10

If we have 17 blocks and we remove 7 blocks, how many blocks will remain

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will use simple subtraction, following these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the initial quantity of blocks, which is 17.

  • Step 2: Identify the quantity to be removed, which is 7 blocks.

  • Step 3: Perform the subtraction to find the remaining quantity of blocks:

Initial quantityamp;=17Blocks removedamp;=7Remaining quantityamp;=177 \begin{aligned} \text{Initial quantity} & = 17 \\ \text{Blocks removed} & = 7 \\ \text{Remaining quantity} & = 17 - 7 \end{aligned}

By calculating 177 17 - 7 , we find that the remaining quantity is 10 10 .

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 10 10 .

Exercise #11

We built the number 46 - let's take out 6 units

What will we get?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will follow these straightforward steps:

  • Identify the number from which we will subtract: this is the number 46.
  • Identify the number to subtract: this is the number 6.
  • Perform the subtraction operation: subtract 6 from 46.

Let's perform the subtraction:

466 46 - 6

Subtracting 6 from 46 involves the following:

  • Determine the units: 6 subtracted from 6 leaves 0 in the units place.
  • The tens place remains unaffected directly, as the operation is straightforward: 4 tens remain as 4 since the operation only affects the units.

So, the calculation becomes:

466=40 46 - 6 = 40

Therefore, after subtracting 6 from 46, the result is 40 40 .

Answer

40 40

Exercise #17

If in total we have 325 blocks,

and we only remove the hundreds,

write down the resulting exercise:

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem of removing the hundreds from 325, follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the hundreds digit in the number 325. The hundreds digit is 3.
  • Step 2: Convert the hundreds digit into a full hundred by multiplying it by 100: 3×100=300 3 \times 100 = 300 .
  • Step 3: Subtract this total from the original number: 325300 325 - 300 .
  • Step 4: Calculate the result of this subtraction: 325300=25 325 - 300 = 25 .

Therefore, the resulting exercise is 325300=25 325 - 300 = 25 , and the final numerical answer is 25.

Exercise #18

If in total we have 447 blocks,

and we only remove the tens,

write down the resulting exercise:

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to "remove the tens" from the total number of blocks, which is 447:

  • Step 1: Identify the tens digit in 447. The number 447 consists of the hundreds digit as 4, the tens digit as 4, and the units digit as 7.
  • Step 2: Determine the value of the tens digit. The tens digit 4 represents a total value of 4×10=404 \times 10 = 40.
  • Step 3: Subtract the tens value from the total. We subtract 40 from 447: 44740=407 447 - 40 = 407

Therefore, the result of removing the tens from 447 is 44740=407 447 - 40 = 407 .

This exercise corresponds to choice id="2": 44740=407 447-40=407 .

Answer

Exercise #19

If we have 559 blocks and we only remove the ones, how many blocks will remain?

Step-by-Step Solution

To find how many blocks remain after removing the ones digit from 559, we follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Determine the ones digit in 559. The number is 559, so the ones digit is 9.
  • Step 2: Subtract the ones digit from the total number of blocks. This means calculating 5599 559 - 9 .
  • Step 3: Perform the subtraction: 5599=550 559 - 9 = 550 .

Therefore, when the ones digit is removed, 550 blocks remain.

The correct answer to the problem is 5599=550 559 - 9 = 550 .

Answer

5599=500 559-9=500

Exercise #20

If in total we have 545 blocks,

and we only remove the hundreds and ones, write down the resulting exercise:

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll be removing the hundreds and ones digits from the total 545 blocks and writing the resulting subtraction exercise.

  • Step 1: Identify hundreds and ones contributions.
    Hundreds digit is 5, so hundred contribution = 5×100=5005 \times 100 = 500.
    Ones digit is 5, so one contribution = 5×1=55 \times 1 = 5.
  • Step 2: Sum the contributions from hundreds and ones.
    Total contribution to remove = 500+5=505500 + 5 = 505.
  • Step 3: Subtract the total contribution from the original total.
    Subtraction exercise = 545505545 - 505.
  • Step 4: Calculate the result of the subtraction.
    Final result = 4040.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 545505=40 545 - 505 = 40 .

Answer

545505=40 545-505=40
